Witch House is the only original building in the city with a direct connection to the 1692 Salem witch trials. Once the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin, the houses stayed in his family until the mid-19th century. Legend has it that the judge presided on the jury that condemned 19 innocent people to death during the witch trials, but--contrary to popular belief--none of the accused was ever brought to his home. The house and its museum serve as a rare example of 17th-century architecture in the United States.

Enjoyed the self tour. Its really interesting to see the house. The house is original but the furnishings are not. Definitely go see it.

The only remaining building connected to the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. You can do a self guided tour for $9. It's small but interesting. There is also a small gift shop.

The cost was to high for what was offered. It’s just an old house with some old furniture. There is no guided tour. The owners are greedy and the store is expensive.

- museum is pretty cool, not directly associated with the witch trials its just one of the judges house but none the less worth checking out. - tickets $9 per adult, $7 senior, $5 kids, all children under 6 are free. - a nice history lesson and cool things to see from back in that day. - you can take pictures. - went on a week day towards the end of the day and it was not busy at all. - staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the history with the house. - had a nice little gift shop. - parking in Salem in general is hard to find and pricey depending on what location you decide to go to. No on site parking. - overall a cool place to check out while in Salem.

Really liked it. They do allow photos just no flash allowed!! Not a ton there but I guess there wasn’t a ton to have back then. Very interesting. The staff will watch very close to make sure you touch NOTHING (understandably). Did learn about piss bread. TF! Look it up! Poor dog.

Standing in front of this house almost seems otherworldly with all the more and stories surrounding the it. This was the home of the Judge that oversaw the witch trials themselves. The decisions made to hang and press witches and their family members came from this house. Unreal. This is why we RV, to see stuff like this!

Pretty neat to see. Mostly original construction in the house and original furnishings from the time. There are people inside that can tell you about the history and what everything inside was used for. Pretty cool place to visit. Definitely worth seeing!!
